Have an issue that requires immediate advocacy?

If your municipality has a pressing issue that cannot wait to be debated at Alberta Municipalities’ September 2026 Convention, then you may submit a Request for Decision (RFD) for consideration at our Spring Municipal Leaders’ Caucus (MLC) in early March.  

Requests for Decision should only be used when there is an urgent or emerging issue, meaning the topic is developing unexpectedly and requires immediate action.  

Requests for Decision will be presented on the floor for a vote by members at the Spring MLC that will take place in Edmonton on March 26 and 27, 2026. If approved, ABmunis’ Board of Directors will take action on the issue. The deadline to submit an RFD is February 19, 2025. 

Contact our advocacy [at] abmunis.ca (Advocacy team)  if your municipality is considering submitting an RFD.
